SCARFPIN.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J l 27 1920 Application filed Anril 23, 1920. Serial No. 376,125.

to-which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an improved scarfpin.

ilki'l object of the invention is to provide a scarf pin provided with means for embracor surrounding the aprons of an unknotted four-iirhand necktie close up to the collar so as to give the tie the appearance of a knotted tie, thus obviating the necessity forming the knot by hand, which method is sometimes objectionable and presents many difliculties. t

Another object of the invention is to provide scarf pin of the above mentioned type wherein the knot-forming-means also serves as a means for preventing possihle'loss of the pin.

A further object of the invention is to provide a scarf pin which may be worn with a scarf whether it is tied or not, it serving to improve the appearance of the tie to a great extent.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure l is a perspective view of a collar and tie, showing the manner in Which my improved pin is employed.

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view-of a scarf pin constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a collar and tie showing the manner in which the latter is tied to permit application of my scarf pin thereon.

In the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the letter C designates a collar and the letter T denotes a necktie of the four-in-hand type.

As has been before intimated it is the purpose of this invention to obviate the-necessity of tying a fourdn hand tie in the usual way. The only step necessary to permit use of my scarf pin,is to place the tie around the collar in the usual manner, and twist the. aprons once in the manner shown in Fig. 4, after which the aprons will be brought together and permitted to hang in the usual manner. When in this position my improved scarf pin may be readily applied and when in position, it will give the tie the same appearance as if it were tied by hand in the usual manner.

The pin for accomplishing this feature is moreclearlyshown in Fig. 3, whereinthe numeral 1 designates the scarf pin proper which has its upper end directed laterally forward as atQ, it being provided on the extreme of this bentend'with an ornamental head 3 of any suitable design. So far, the

construction of thispin is like that of pins now in use. Extending laterally in opposite directions from the portion 2 are arms 4 each of which is directed rearwardly at 5, and inwardly toward each other at 6 to form an open ring-like member which is adapted to surround the aprons of the tie close up to the collar in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This ring-like member forms the aforesaid knot-forming means, and also prevents possible loss of the pin from the tie.

In use. the tie is placed upon the collar in the usual manner. and-the free ends of the aprons are twisted around each other in the manner more clearly disclosed in Fig. 4, after which they are brought together and permitted to hang down over the bosom in.

the manner shown inFigs. 1 and 2. When in this position, the pin 1 may be placed in position in the usual way. It is to be stated here. that when placing the pin in position,

the ring-like member should be rather close up to the collar so that the knot which is formed will not be too long. However, the length of the knot may be determined by the user. After the pin is in position, the aprons of the tie will be forced through the space between the extremities of the arms 4. Such operation will cause the tie to be gathered or contracted in the manner disclosed in Fig. 1, thus giving the tie the appearance of a knotted tie.

A pin constructed in accordance with my invention will be found extremely useful and advantageous in that it will dispense with the necessity of tying the knot by hand.

It will be recalled that when tying the usual four-in-hand tie, it is necessary to slide it Sometimes the tie gets caught on the times much difficulty is experienced in sliding the'tie for positioning the knot. lVith 'my pin such circumstances will be avoided.

Soiling of the tie will be prevented to a great extent. Due to the construction employed, it" wouldbe almost impossible for the pin to work itself out of the tie, and

it will be also an extremely hard matter for a personto-steal'the pin from the tie, be-

cause it eannot'be removed by one hand, 'thus, the necessity of employ ng a safety catch is dispensed with; Also, use of my pin will enablethe: knot to'be'inade of any desirablesize. Then again, the pin may be used with= hand tied scarfs if desirecLand it will serve as an extremely attractive ornament, thus increasing the appearance of the tie.

A careful consideration of the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings will enable persons skilledlin the'art to which this invention appertains to obtaina thorough understandtion is deemed unnecessary. 7

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herein shown and described is to be taken as a preferred form of the same ing of the same, thereforeyfurther descripand that various minor changes inthe shape,

size and arrangement of parts may be resortedtowithout departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

VVhat' is claimed is:

LAn article of the type set forth com prising a split ring-like band adapted to surround a necktie and a scarf pin carried by \the band said pin being securedto the band intermediate the ends of the latter and including an inwardly extending. portion which extends into the band and a portion which is directed downwardly and at right angles to said inwardly extending portion.

2: An article of the class described c0mprising a scarf pinprovided with a pair of laterally disposed arms extending in opposite directions and being directed rearward and then toward each other, being adapted to embrace a necktie.

3. An article of the class described comprising a scarf p n havin ts upper end bent forwardly, an ornamental head on the i extremity of the forwardly bent end and a pair of arms extending laterally in oppo- 7 is adapted to "embrace a necktie.

'In testimony whereof I'have hereunto set my hand.
